their contained objects, in any combination.
With Foxit PDF Editor, you can control the display of PDF layers with the Layers panel.
For example, you may divide background imagery, main content areas, and
advertisements amongst their own top-level layers, and easily hide the layers that you
don't want others to view.
Show /hide PDF Layers

content stored in a variable number of separate layers, you can simply refer to the
Layers panel on the left side of the work area. You can view layers and choose to show
